A USC art professor said that the quarter housed a slave owned by the University. According to John C. Bryan, a professor in the art department, "A slave by the name of Jack was purchased by the University in 1814 and the duties of this slave were probably the maintenance and upkeep of the Horseshoe area." A deed for the slave was discovered by Bryan among the University archives. In mid-November, 1974, Ray Clark, engineer- in charge of Horseshoe renovation, was in the attic of McCutcheonHouse when he noticed a portion of the room had been whitewashed. Upon closer examinati6n he discovered wooden pegs in the walls that at one time might have been used to hang articles of clothing. Bryan said the slave owned by the University was the inhabitant of these quarters and perhaps he was also the personal house ser vant of the families that once lived in McCutcheon In the early 1800's the house was inhabited by two faculty members and their families. Later, the home was transformed into a classroom facility. McCutcheon House was built about 1813 and was one of the first structures completed on the Horseshoe. Much of the interior woodwork is intact and un damaged. More than in any other Horseshoe building, the interior is almost unchanged and retains much of the style of early 19th century.

Dr. Bryan said almost every state, county and city in the U.S. is making some historical con tribution to commemorate this event. Bryan said the Horseshoe is one of the leading symbols of South Carolina and a constant reminder of the important role the state played in the development of the nation.
